[An Nahar] Syria said it has issued a warning to its citizens that they would be locked away and prosecuted if they took part in further attacks on embassies.
Pro-Syrian  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Light of the Alawites... protesters attacked the Moroccan and UAE embassies on Wednesday, officials said. Ambassador Mohammed Khassasi told Agence La Belle France Presse between 100 and 150 demonstrators pelted the Moroccan embassy with eggs and stones and stripped it of its flag, angry at Rabat's hosting of Arab meetings that proved so critical of the Assad regime. Morocco later recalled its ambassador from Damascus ...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... "to protest against a system that fails to renew itself," Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri said. "The regime of Bashir al-Assad does not seem to listen, notably to outside efforts including those by the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... to settle the problem of violence." The violent protests came despite a pledge by Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad to Arab ambassadors on Tuesday that there would be no repetition of the attacks on embassies.
